Although the justice system is inherently reactive and money is never enough to make the plaintiff whole, holding physicians accountable for their negligence may deter them from deviating from the standard of care, such as failing to perform a mammogram or biopsy. There are obvious limitations to turning to the legal system as a solution for eliminating misdiagnosis, namely, the damage having already been done. However, the same way you should be an advocate for your own health, the justice system is an available remedy when physicians fail to advocate for your health too.
